24 alternatives to Buska

Hi HN, I'm Toni, i'm a Product Manager. In June, during a team building at my company, my friend Tristan & I decided to partner up to start a side project. After one failed attempt, we got the idea for buska out of our own frustrations : Tristan had successfully launched an app in the past and he struggled to check every mention of it on social media, media coverage... I had worked as a Music Manager and spent hours tracking mentions of my artists online. And as a PM,I would manually go on every social media for user posts about my product. At the time neither of us couldn't find a tool to…

    The tool actually hit Product Hunt #1 back in February. Since then I’ve added a bunch more on top of the original version. Now you just describe the intent or goal for the leads you want, and it searches based on keywords and a bunch of other signals to surface the best ones for you. I also added a Reddit-powered content writer. Basically, you pick a topic or category, and it pulls the top posts from Reddit, analyzes what made them go viral, and helps you write content using the same patterns. Reddit is super underrated for content. If something blows up there, it almost always spreads to…

    I built mention.click to help founders and marketers find real business leads, feedback, and opportunities by uncovering the right discussions on Reddit, without the hassle of keyword research.

    A few weeks ago I shared an early version of MentionedBy.ai — a tool we built to monitor how your brand is mentioned inside AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and other LLMs. We’re now officially live This started from our own frustration. Our startup wasn’t being mentioned in ChatGPT responses, even for queries where we were clearly relevant. Meanwhile, legacy or SEO-heavy brands kept showing up. We realized: AI is becoming the new search engine — and no one knows how they rank in it. So we built MentionedBy to answer questions like: How often does your brand…

    Hey HN! My name's Josh and I'm the sole founder of ForumScout. I had the idea for this project about 3 months ago, and I've been building it ever since. ForumScout notifies you whenever your chosen keyword(s) are mentioned on ANY forum or Twitter thread. For example, let's say you own a SaaS that generates AI headshots. You could get notified when someone mentions "AI headshot", and offer them a free trial of your service. There are many ways I believe a tool like this can be useful, but a few of the obvious ones are: - Respond to mentions of your brand/website in real time. - Find…
